In this short video I show an example of my procedure to watch youtube
videos without leaving Emacs:

https://cloud.disroot.org/s/X3cfi2orT38CPyM

I use:

1. Helm-google-suggest (set to use duckduckgo)

2. Ytel (based on elfeed). With a few hacks that I have added, in order
to:

  - Display thumbnails in the searches.

  - Watch the video at point (via invidious) with EMMS/MPV,
    configured with yt-dlp, which is a fork of youtube-dl that works
    much better.

  - Download the video at point with yt-dlp (full video or only audio)

  - Create a bookmark of the video with org-capture
